Our vision for the ClickHouse Grafana plugin

ClickHouse and Grafana are increasingly used together for observability and real-time analytics, providing teams with powerful options for handling large volumes of data efficiently. This post outlines the ongoing enhancements in the Grafana plugin to improve user experience by simplifying SQL requirements and integrating intuitive features like instant filtering, structured attribute displays, and automatic log volume histograms. Future plans include out-of-the-box dashboards for OpenTelemetry and Kubernetes observability, a metrics exploration tool that eliminates the need for complex SQL queries, and improvements for bidirectional SQL parsing and per-user query identity to enhance access control and user context. The goal is to create a seamless, user-friendly experience that combines the flexibility of Grafana's existing ecosystem with the efficiency and scalability of ClickHouse, while continuing to gather user feedback to refine these developments.
